On Friday, May 19th I found a broken container for GC3KB6V Bosworth Park. I have submitted a DNF (since no logsheet was inside or nearby). I took a photo of the container and it is posted.
I see today a cacher found the logsheet so is claiming FTF. I have asked only for a find from the CO.
Opinions?!

In your case, since you were sure you found the proper container, but in a damaged state, I would think it would be fine to write your name onto a scrap of paper and call it a new logbook, then send the picture which you did to the CO, after hiding the container in a logical spot.

In the second cachers case, using the same logic you did for dnf'ing the cache (signing the original logbook), that person is of course eligible for the FTF. The second searcher was the first to log a find. If I am the second searcher and I find the logbook, if the first person logged a dnf, I would think I get the FTF regardless of what their on line log says.

find and I disagree with BF. Doesn't matter where you found the container. The original hide is really only valid if other cachers have not moved it. Since the owner has not checked it. Log it._________________Airborne All the Way!

Thanks for the responses. I will wait a couple of days for the CO to answer and then I will log. I guess I could drop the useless container off at his house since I know where he lives.

The cache was a 1.5 terrain and the container was in the grass away from the closest beacon that I searched and searched. I would have had to use alot of black electrical tape to strap in the back side to hold a logsheet. Then the next cacher would have had a massive task on pulling it off-I didn't see the point. I didn't have any micro containers with me-as I don't like hiding them-in fact I sometimes don't hunt them because there are so many.

I did get 4 FTF (a personal best) and hid one so it was a good day caching for me! _________________Summer is too short

Please don't take my question too seriously. I'm still waiting for the CO to get back to me. I think he has been too busy with his kids activities to look at his e-mail. I'm pretty sure he will be checking in a day or two after he see the photo of his container he will know I found his cache.

This is not a case of climbing a tree for a micro--I don't climb anymore I promised my hubby that "granny" would knock it off.

In the best case scenario I would get a "find" that would be the first time I was awarded one when it was muggled or missing since I started caching-not exactly stacking the deck with "fake" finds.

I had a cache get muggled and chose to archive it and hide a new one about 40 yards away. A seeker of my new cache found a pile of geotrash close to GZ of the new cache and posted a DNF and a “Needs Maintenance” because there was no container or log. When I checked on it, the new cache was right where I hid it, leaving me to believe that it was remnants of the old cache that had been found. I searched for the old cache before archiving, but missed the trash 40 yards away. In this case, the DNF was the right thing to do._________________Ahhhhhhhh, the power of cheese!
